    Oh Dena ,the By the Bay is amazing, it's definitely a masterpiece, beautiful. Happy Cheryl is getting stronger, and coming along great. I enjoy each video, so much eye candy related to stitching.

      Thank you so much! Cocoa is adjusting well to her lighter diet, LOL. She is always happy to see me put down her food now and I even put a little down in the morning yesterday and she didn't eat it until we ate later in the day so I think her appetite is back to normal. She should shed those three pounds easily. Dena

    @carlenehall2979 Před 5 měsíci

    I’m so glad your friend is doing better Dena, such a blessing. Coco’s weight problem makes me think of my cat - she thinks every time I go in the kitchen she needs kibble. Then I thought to myself - she’s just doing that for me to give her something, she’s not really hungry, so I give her just a few morsels of kibble & that satisfies her! She has slimmed down nicely! Take care.

    • @halfstitchcrossstitch2456
      @halfstitchcrossstitch2456  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Carlene, I am so glad your cat has slimmed down nicely. Cocoa's appetite has returned to normal now that she is off the medication. I put a little bit of food down yesterday morning and she didn't even touch it until evening when she usually ate before so I think she will trim on down without difficulty. Dena

      Linda, if you were to look into Cocoa's eyes, you would get the impression they are human eyes. Seriously they are so lovely. She seems to have no residual effects from banging her head on the steps, so I am very grateful for that. Hope you have a great month of stitching. Dena

    Poor Cocoa... glad she wasn't hurt! It probably took you and Tommy longer to recover than it did Cocoa!
    You have had some great progress on some rather large pieces so far!

I am down to 16 WIPs at the moment, so I am trying to spend extra time of some that are close to finishes. Hope you are having a great month of stitching! Dena

      Kathy so sorry to hear you had COVID. My hubby just found out he has strep so he left this morning to go to St. Simons Island where he will isolate in a rental house and hope to be well enough to run on Saturday. I had considered going with him and taking Cocoa, but now he can isolate while there. Dena

    Hi Dena. Your stitching is coming along great. I was happy to see Let Love Reign. That is such a beautiful sampler. I am so happy your friend is doing so well. I think Cocoa is so beautiful even with the extra 3 pounds. I just love her curly ears.

      Crystal, thank you so much for the compliment on my stitching progress, but also for the lovely compliment on Cocoa's curly ears. I brush them each day and it seems she likes it. I love her curly, fluffy tail also, which I brush everyday also. She tolerates that one. LOL. Dena

I've been missing for a while because I had both phone and Internet issues. I now have a new phone and the Internet is working but it's iffy.

    Poor Cocoa!! Steroids are the WORST!! Makes my mood change and the food!!! Now that she’s off the meds it should get much better! I’m SO happy to hear the amazing progress your friend had made after her stroke! Nothing like being home in your own bed to make you feel better (says this nurse)! Your work is amazing Dena!! Sounds like the Stitchy meet up was a rousing success!! I was in that class at the Jingle Ball as well! My Stitchy bestie took Beth Twist’s class at Acorns and Threads. They are so much fun to make! I always look forward to your videos to see what’s new in your corner of the world. See you soon!

    Great progress on your beautiful projects.
    (My dog is 4 years old, and has a lot of energy. So he plays a lot specially with the kids. So than they run on and off the veranda stairs and everything. But when he felt, he is like the kids want a cuddle and than go again😂.
    Also in the snow he is running after the kids and before the sleight. He smash a lot, but than when he felt, he come back to me. He want to pet and back again. He is absolute crazy and want to play as well with the kids.
    Its the same with the car: he crash the car out. Unstoppable. He go with me to pick up the children, and they always try to be first by the front door. So he do it too. But the crazy thing he never hurt himself really bad. ) Happy stitching.
